This Australian series is a family style soap opera that's kind of an updated version of "Leave it to Beaver' or "Father knows Best". It's set in current times and tries to teach morality lessons for problems in today's world e.g addiction, alcoholism, financial debt etc. It becomes formula driven after a while, and the problems seem never ending. The script dispenses the usual homely advice about being good to one another, family is everything stuff, but after a while starts to wear thin. The most annoying thing about the series is the folk music type soundtrack.....really annoying. Overall, it's something to keep in your streaming queue for when there's nothing else to watch.
